Do you wish you had the right phrase to motivate your friends and colleagues? The Clue And MagTag Pep Talk Generator will provide you with just the right words (or not) to provide sentiment for the occasion. In this guide, you'll learn how to use a MagTag or a CLUE, or both if you're feeling daring, to create a pep talk generator that will randomly create a motivational sentence using 4 phrases.   There are instructions in this guide for both the MagTag and the Clue. You can use either. The MagTag will give you a new pep talk every minute and the Clue will give you one when you turn it on and one when you press one of the buttons on the front. ## MagTag Parts ### Adafruit MagTag Starter Kit - ADABOX017 Essentials [Adafruit MagTag Starter Kit - ADABOX017 Essentials](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4819) The **Adafruit MagTag** combines the new ESP32-S2 wireless module and a 2.9" grayscale E-Ink display to make a low-power IoT display that can show data on its screen even when power is removed!
